Mt. Robertson to the left and Mt. Sir Douglas to the right, from Burstall Pass Trail, on approach-solo trip-2004. These are not the routes, however, this small glacier does serve as a popular winter backcountry ski outing.

thanks c.janiesch, Robertson is 10,480' and this is just the end of the north ridge. The photo is deceptive in that Robertson really is not a spire, although I thought so until I saw it from another angle...it is a broad mt aligned south to north...this photo looking at its skinny end if you will...cheers!

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""
